Devoted Surrender

[New Novel: Matters Left Unfinished in the Long Summer is now underway] In college, Nan Tang met a beautiful, solitary younger guy. There was something so pitiful about him in every way that she softened for a moment and devoted herself to making him feel cared for. But one day, he still slammed the door and walked out right in front of her. Nan Tang assumed he hated her. She gave a casual smile and put the whole thing out of her mind. She never expected that years later, when they met again, the beautiful boy from the past would have grown into a man. In the dim, shifting light, he lowered his head and let his scorching breath brush her lips, his voice aggrieved yet restrained: "Sis, don't leave me behind." · One winter night five years ago, Nan Tang's mother was murdered while she was out.
